CHAPTER XIX.
DRAFTING-" EMERGENCY MEN "-COMPANY K IST N. J. -COMPANY I 33D N. J.
UGUST 15th 1863 there was an allotment made of the draft; 3,026 white and I01 colored men were required in the county. Some changes and credits were afterward made, and the number finally drawn was 611, divided as follows: Morris 44, Pequan- nock 45, Chatham 64, Hanover 86, Randolph 4, Mendham 21, Chester 14, Jefferson 45, Roxbury 91, Washington 74, Rockaway 123.
In February 1865 there were 333 men to be drafted for, but before the draft was completed the victory before Petersburg caused the order of April 13th that drafting should cease.
March 26th 1864 Captain D. H. Ayers, who had served in the 27th and had been recruiting for the 33d, had filled a company for the 5th N. J. to the minimum number. He was mustered as captain in that regiment, April 13th 1864.
May 2nd 1864 a new company of "home guards " was organized at Morristown-Captain Fred. Dellicker, First Lieutenant Horace Ayers, Second Lieutenant D. D. Craig.
June 15th 1863, the rebel army having invaded Mary- land, and then threatening Harrisburgh, Governor Cur- tin of Pennsylvania called upon the governors of the the neighboring States for aid. June 17th Governor Parker called for volunteers from this State, and ten companies of 30-day men volunteered for the " Pennsyl- vania emergency." A company was raised in Morris county, known as Company E N. J. militia, Captain George Gage, which was enrolled and mustered June 27th and discharged July 24th. It went to Harrisburgh and remained there until the victory of Gettysburg ren- dered its stay no longer necessary.
The following is a roll of the company:
George Gage, captain; William A. Halstead, first lieu- tenant; J. E. Parker, second lieutenant; James L. Marsh, first sergeant; D. W. Tunis, John T. Kent, John C. Smith and John W. Phoenix, sergeants; James M. Bon- sall, Charles F. Axtell, George McKee, Joseph H. Tillyer, George Vanhouten, L. D. Babbitt, James Allen and Lyman B. Dellicker, corporals ; Elwyn Bentley and Charles H. Green, musicians; Erastus D. Allen, George W. Anthony, George F. Ballentine, Jabez Beers, Andrew
Bennett, D. W. Bowdish, Edward P. Brewster, George Brewster, Charles Burns, E. F. Cavanagh, Francis Childs, William Cook, S. B. Cooper, Marcus F. Crane, John S. and John N. De Hart, Aaron S. Degroot, Galin Egbert, William C. Emmett, Barnard Finegan, Arthur Ford, Edwin D. and Robert Green, Charles M. Holloway, George H. Hutchinson, David Lewis, John Ross, James D. Stevenson, George E. Voorhees, George H. Welch- man, Robert Wighton, C. H. Wilson, Job Wright, James C. Youngblood.
While Captain Gage's company of militia was absent in Pennsylvania a "peace meeting " was held on Morris green, which was addressed by Chauncey Burr and others. During the speaking news of the victories of Vicksburg and Gettysburg arrived, and the meeting dispersed in confusion. A large loyal meeting was held in the same place the same evening to celebrate the victories of the eastern and western armies.
COMPANY K Ist N. J.
The same month two companies were recruited for the Ist N. J., then in the field-Company G (Captain Ed- ward Bishop, First Lieutenant Daniel Dillen, Second Lieutenant Daniel L. Hutt) and Company H (Captain Richard Foster, First Lieutenant George Carlough, Sec- ond Lieutenant William Miller). As separate companies these men did not enter the service, but from them a new company was formed, under Captain Foster, which joined the Ist N. J. as Company K in January 1864, in time to serve honorably and suffer severely in the " bat- tle summer," and to be in at the death. The company organization was disbanded at Cold Harbor, June 4th 1864, and the men were transferred to Companies K and F 4th N. J. The following is the muster roll of the company:
